Alternative Armies: Centaur Lancers Released

Alternative Armies: It is the fear in their faces that I relish. That fear which comes when they realise who and what we are. Not only their poor slow two legs but their own cavalry as well. Some will turn and run but never fast enough, some will ride in and fight but never well enough. We are the Emperor's finest and all of Urop knows this for who could be better soldiers than those born to ride! I pour scorn on the foe and yay our allies too for they are not good enough. We are proud and with the aid of the Elves we will ride to the very steps of the Dark Czar's throne of skulls to reclaim our serfs and to pierce his bony rump with fine made Coltzen steel.Colonel Eryk Ponydura. 5er Uhlans de Coltz

In the Dutchy all of the Cavalry from the lowest to the highest in both ability and rank are Centaurs, it is natural for them to be so, and when added to the fact that no Werewolf can ride a horse you have some of the best Cavalry on Valon. The Lancers of Coltz are feared in all of Urop and beyond and are the bane of all Infantry.

The majority of Diberians are Werewolves but a significant minority are Centaurs and these creatures are the rulers of the Grand Dutchy of Coltz. With the bodies and legs of a horse but the upper body, arms and head of a being much like a Man or an Elf they are fine leaders and soldiers. Most of the higher Officers of the Coltzen Army are Centaurs like the magnificent Marshal Ponyatowski and they form all of the Cavalry elements of the Diberia’s armed forces. Virtually no Centaurs left for the Witchlands, they are not easily entrapped by flattery or sorcery unlike many Werewolves. Most Centaurs have a loathing for Vampyres seeing them as responsible for the destruction of Diberia.
